Non dairy protein shake that doesn't taste like sh*t

mcgiggles

Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice on non dairy protein shakes to supplement my diet, that don't taste like sh*t... I know there are a few different kinds.. hemp/ pea/ vegan etc.. but most of them don't have sample sachets, and I don't want to spend x amount on a shake and it to end up being lumpy, hard to mix or just taste crap!
Any advice is appreciated

The snickers flavour beef protein mixed ok but there's some serious aftertaste
Tastes fine while actually drinking it though
That's the only one I've tried

Zombienosh

Raw fusion is pretty decent. Or soy isolate from myprotein is tasty.

Johnny The Fox

Carnivor Beef Protein is nice enough.

Are you allergic to dairy? Going for only non-dairy protein shakes really does limit your options.

Yep... not extremely allergic, but enough to trigger a response when I take it in :-( (I love meat too much to be vegetarian not to mind vegan ;-))

you should check out Sun Warrior Classic plus (or their warrior blend) it is raw,vegan blend of a number of different plant based proteins and comes in choc, vanilla and unflavoured. you can pick this up from HP nutrition.

Also, VEGA is really nice but pricey, again its vegan, non GMO and their blend contains a number of different plant based protein sources. VEGA can be hard to get in Ireland, i order through iherb. They actually have a sample pack there at the moment for under a 10er which includes a couple of their products, also i think they sell the sample packs individually also.

Garden of life is another plant based protein- i find it less mixable than the others I've mentioned.

Also - Myprotein do a vegan blend in choc smooth flavour. Taste is ok - but as its my protein is super cheap - you could always buy a bottle of their flavourings to add to it if it bothered you?

Its actually milk fat I have the problem with, skimmed milk is fine but anything above that, I get really flushed and one side of my face gets painfully red and my eyes get really scratchy. I tried a whey protein isolate before and I can't remember but I'm pretty sure it didn't agree with me, but that was just one type..

Whey will taste the best.

Of the others maybe pea but it will be a taste trade off.

Beef is a tub I reckon you'd have for a while - it's just not something you would rush to drink imo.

A good whey isolate should be very low in fat but also quite expensive.

The Bulkpowders 97% isolate has only 0.3g of fat per 100g - might be worth chancing a small serving of?

I've had the same experience - I'll gladly suffer with some actual steak instead!:D
